The Istanbul Agop Sultan 22” Jazz Ride Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

Handcrafted in Istanbul from traditional B20 bronze alloy, this ride cymbal is part of the Sultan series, combining classic fully lathed surfaces with a distinctive unlathed band across the bow and a raw bell. This hybrid construction enhances stick articulation while controlling overtones and shortening sustain. Extensive hand hammering contributes to a highly complex tonal profile, while the medium-thin weight and 22" diameter provide a lower fundamental pitch with a responsive, expressive feel.

This ride cymbal delivers a warm, dark and slightly trashy tonal character with a controlled, musical wash. Stick definition remains clear and articulate, sitting above a restrained layer of wash, allowing for precise phrasing without excessive spread. The wider bell profile contributes to a lower pitch and integrated bell tone, while the overall response remains dynamic and sensitive. It is particularly well suited to jazz, fusion and modern styles where tonal complexity, control and musical expression are essential.
